property overview

The grounds are stunning, thanks to acres of lush gardens, and a perfect location facing the Gulf of Siam.

Formerly the Hua Hin Railway Hotel, one of the classic hotels of the East, the Centara Grand Beach Resort & Villas Hua Hin was constructed in 1923 and has retained its rich, old-world charm. An iconic, multi-award winning hotel, it is located in the center of Thailand, and is easily accessible from Bangkok. Luxuriously appointed rooms and suites, with private balconies overlooking the ocean or landscaped gardens, feature high ceilings, period-style furniture and a décor that uses rich polished hardwood softened by the warm tones of Thai silk, evoking the spirit of the 1920s. The villas set amongst the extensive gardens, with their spacious living accommodation and the option of their own pool, offer privacy along with the ultimate in luxury. All rooms feature flat-screen TVs with international channels, in-room safe, mini-bar, tea- and coffee-making facilities, hairdryer, and high-speed Internet access.
